Standard Mode

5.5.13 Font

The Font attribute determines the font in which the characters are dis-

played in a mask.

Note:

– Only some operating devices can display fonts up to any size.

– The names of the fonts cannot be changed.

– You can select a separate font for each static text in a mask.

– The system displays all messages using the same font.

– The system displays all elements in a recipe using the same font.

5.5.14 Help Mask

To optimize usability, you can create a help mask for all masks and all

variables. To call this help mask in the operating device, press the

Help key or a corresponding button.

On operating devices equipped with a keyboard, the help mask is only

displayed for as long as you keep the Help key pressed.

A help mask is the same size as a standard mask. You can insert static

text, background images, output variables, and tables in a help mask.

You can also link help masks to sub-masks, to ensure that help masks

have a uniform appearance.

If a mask or variable is not linked with a help mask, only the default

help mask is displayed. You can also design the default help mask to

suit your own needs.

The help text for a mask is displayed until data release is requested.

Otherwise the help is displayed for the variable that is currently being

edited.

5.5.15 Output Variables

Output variables are numeric or alphanumeric memory content from

the connected controller. The variable values are requested from the

controller if required, and displayed at the program location using the

corresponding representation type.

5.5.15.1 One-Off and Cyclical Output Variables

Pure output variables are transferred once from the controller when the

mask is being called-up, and are displayed in the mask. Outputting the

variable only once helps improve communication performance, and

can be used for all variables, such as setpoint values, constants, and

parameters that rarely or never change. All output variables can be dis-
